Unfortunately the aforementioned list will never contain the most “stone cold killer”, most dangerous predator species of 'em all, because it’s a list kept by that very species themselves.

Wallabies…

This reminds me of those posts from anti-vaxers who complain about not being able to find good studies or sources that support their opinion.

Windows 11 are broken

I’m pointing out a major, physical, sign that someone is, or has, struggled with poverty and knows first hand how hard that is.

I see way too many “hot takes” on how poverty works from people who don’t have the scar, or even know what it is. To me, that’s a big red flag that they don’t know wtf they’re talking about as they haven’t experienced it.

Opposite of that. People who have been in poverty for a long time know that plasma donation is one of the ways to keep the lights on or be able to afford food that week. After repeated donations, you are left with a buildup of scar tissue.

Those who haven’t suffered in poverty may donate occasionally for a few extra bucks, or just for the sake of doing it. But only those who are doing it constantly, twice a week, every week (that’s the maximum) for a long period of time will develop a scar.

If you don’t have the poverty scar on one, or both, of your arms, I don’t want to hear shit about what you have to say on the topic of poverty.

If you don’t know what the poverty scar is, and you live in the US, then I will just assume you’ve never actually struggled, nor been around those who do.

Boiled in a big pot with potatoes, carrots, and a large slab of corned beef and spices for several hours.

Idiots and people with lead poisoning aren’t inherently evil. They’re just fucking stupid.

If it’s all propaganda and nothing happened, then why the fuck is China so draconian about preventing any and all conversation about it?

I mean, if it was all made up lies, certainly they would want people talking about the truth of the matter, rather than banning and prosecuting anyone who dares mention that it was anything other than a normal day.

Now, some people might see this and easily be able to tell that something stinks and clearly there is something they are trying to cover up. We call this “Not having the critical thinking skills of a dead goldfish”

Do they? I mean, I’m sure some people do. But some people also think shoving chili peppers up their anus is pleasurable. We don’t go around saying “People now think shoving hot peppers up their ass feels good.”, because while it’s technically true, it’s disingenuous considering how few people fit into that category.

Only for the small percentage of people who follow news about gaming companies. Vast majority of people haven’t heard anything negative, let alone do they give a shit. They might have ruined their reputation for you, personally; but they’re going to do just fine. Nintendo has shown that it doesn’t really matter what your company culture is or what practices you engage in; if you make fun games that are fun, people will buy them.

Are you talking about the Steam Link?

I want you to do a little thought experiment with me…

Sports make a shit ton of money. They have advertisements crammed anywhere they can. When you go to a stadium, the shots of crowds are almost always pre-recorded, or actors, so they can package the emotions they want to convey without risking a genuine moment from genuine fans not going exactly how they want it to.

They gouge you with ticket prices, they gouge you with food/drink prices, the gouge you for parking. If you’re watching at home, you have to subscribe to their specific streaming platform, and even then it doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to see the game they want.

They recruit kids in high school and college and use them knowing full well that less than 1% will have anything resembling success. They spend millions upon millions exploiting these kids.

They give quasi-legal performance enhancing drugs to their athletes. Ones that are labeled as supplements and aren’t technically against the rules, but do the exact same thing.

They hide studies that say their sport causes long-term injuries. They bribe local officials to get huge tax breaks on building new stadiums. They have teams of lawyers and PR personnel to cover up all but the most extreme controversies from their players. They have people working night and day to find new ways to keep people’s attention and have them consume more. They found a way to make gambling legal again and have been pushing HARD for it.

Now I want you to look at all these underhanded and slimy tactics they use, and really ask yourself: “Are the games themselves rigged?”. If your immediate answer is “No, of course not! They would never mess with the integrity of the game itself!” why do you feel that way? Why do you trust organizations, that have shown they hold nothing sacred if it means more money, to NOT mess with the game itself? You know they would if they could get away with it; and with the state of the world today, do you really think they COULDN’T get away with it?

He was also pro-slavery, but only for smart women. Many times, it was reported he owned women with facts and logic. Why he only wanted women with those qualities is unknown.

A 144hz monitor has been the biggest upgrade to my computer since switching from an HDD to a SSD. It’s that big of a difference.

Rogue One came out 9 years ago

Better ban the ocean then. I heard millions of people decide to go swimming in it every day and some of them drown.

Do you… Not know what Hunt is?
